Okey dokey - lets start off in the 1950'.

First of all the map one bought:
Image

And then the prices one paid for accomodation - actually I am not sure of the date of this map but must be after 1964 as it is in Rands and cents.
Image

Then there was there sticker one was given which I still display with pride on my front windscreen.
One side.
Image

Opposite side.
Image

And to start off with at Letaba Camp in 1950 with yours truly with the blonde hair.
Image

Lets fast forward to the early 1980's with my family at Letaba.
Image

So much for the introduction. We will go back to the 1950's for the next posting.
